!open, freya, the doctor (10)

WHO: The Tenth Doctor and Freya
WHAT: A meeting, then who knows?
WHERE: The TARDIS, which is currently parked in the Park.
WHEN: Early this afternoon
RATING: PG
STATUS: Incomplete.

It was cold in the Park, and there weren't many people to chose from when the Doctor poked his head around the door of the TARDIS, breath misting before him, clutching one end of a length of rope. A moment later he was bounding over the icy grass, skidding to a halt in front of a stranger and forcing the rope into their hands. "Hello!" He grinned perkily at them, head cocking and eyes shining with some madly enthusiastic energy. "Just hold onto that for me, would you? Nice and tight. Lovely!"

Then he was off again, skipping away and leaving the newcomer standing holding the rope as he followed its length back towards the Police box, vanishing inside. There was a moment where the faint sound of running footsteps and crashing and beeping could be heard, then the blue box seemed to quake a little, and a bright light flashed from the open door as sparks flew somewhere deep inside. The Doctor's voice could be heard echoing out into the brisk afternoon air.

"Awwwwh!" He crooned, "There you go! Doesn't that feel better!?" A brief pause, and then his voice floated again from beyond the doorway. "You can let go!"

"Oh!" The Doctor bounced to his feet, looking mildly disappointed. "Okay..." He slipped his hands into his pockets, still staring at her with that curious expression. There was something... strange about her. That was obvious. He couldn't tell what it was yet, but he decided to find out. Although not now. No good would come from rushing into things. Which wasn't a philosophy he usually went for, but there was a first time for everything.

"Unless you want a lift home?" he suddenly threw out, his friendly grin blossoming back over his pointed features. The Doctor shrugged, jerking his head back playfully in the direction of the main console. "She does more than just make a lot of noise and lights, you know. Although she does do those things very well."

	"..." Freya blinked and opened her mouth to speak but no words left her. She never had someone offer to take her home quite like...that. But the lights were very nice, she supposed. Very blinky. "Is it safe?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Oh yeeeees!" The Doctor insisted, before catching himself. "Well, usually. Well, here. She's fine here. Can't move very far." He smiled gently at her, then extended a hand to take hers and pull her gently up the ramp towards the main console. He found himself doing his best to dial down the exclamations and bouncing around when he was in Freya's company. She seemed... shy. Quiet. Bless her.

"Which flat is yours?" he asked, releasing her hand and finding a screen that was suspended above them, tugging it down so it was at his eye level. Green text swirled over the screen in circles, pulsing smoothly with the gentle sound of the TARDIS.

"Uh, I-" Freya tried to remember for certain. No one had ever told her which room was hers after showing her to it. She just lived there. Moved day and night from it and to it and never once asked. She hadn't needed to.

She never thought to ask.

"I'm not sure." She rubbed her arms and stared at the screen that was the oddest shade of green. "The one with the missing roof?"

"Building C," The Doctor smiled. "I can drop you outside. Then at least you'll miss most of the cold. Right. Hold on to something!"

He bounced around the console for a moment, spinning dials, pulling levers and hitting buttons until there was a rumble from somewhere deep in the ship and the pulsing noise of the TARDIS increased. The Doctors long fingers clutched around the edge of the console to keep his balance, head thrown up to watch the ship as the centre column glowed more intensely. It lasted a good minute, then suddenly, with a final violent lurch, it was over. A grin split the Doctors face happily.

"There we gooo!" he announced, turning back to Freya with what was supposed to be a reassuring grin and then skipping off towards the door. "Here we are," he pushed the door open, revealing the front door to Building C a few feet away.

Freya immediately grabbed onto the nearest thing to her. Her fingers clutching around metal as things began to shake and whir and beep and make a cataclysmic amount of noise. The floor vibrated. The air buzzed and the tiny hairs on her arms stood up and she felt herself laughing as they were jostled.

She let go and watched as the Doctor skipped back to the door and pushed it open, gesturing for her to go ahead and see for herself. She made it as far as the top of the ramp, a disbelieving smile on her face.

"Sir, this must be magic."

Finally, a genuine smile on the girls face as she gazed out at her building. The tenth Doctor smiled giddily back, leaning against the open doorway, a stiff winter breeze coming through and stirring his mop of chestnut hair. "Nah, just science. Time Lord technology. She can travel through time as well, but that's a no-no here." He hesitated, an expression on his face saying he'd really like to explain exactly how clever his ship was, but realizing it'd probably go right over the newcomers head.

"I'm a Time Lord," he added. "Not human. Hello!" He hesitated, thinking. She seemed to turn to magic as means of explanation, and there were only a few groups of people here who seemed to do that. And he couldn't remember a Freya in those books... "Do you know Merlin?" he asked.
